Critic Reviews for Badland

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (4)

  • "Badland" is ultimately too beholden to the past to be as energized as it should be.

    Noel Murray

    Los Angeles Times

  • Justin Lee's indie Western should satisfy genre enthusiasts with a strong cast and an entertaining spin on a familiar story.

    November 1, 2019 | Full Review…

    Joe Leydon

    Variety

  • With a low-budget, low-energy feel, this Western gets off to a wobbly start, but thanks to several great veteran performers, it soon finds an even, laconic tone that should please fans of the genre.

    April 24, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Jeffrey M. Anderson

    Common Sense Media

  • Despite using plenty of the usual tropes of the genre (silent, but appealing anti-hero, a woman in peril, an underdog fight against evil types, etc.) Badlands stumbles.

    January 2, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

    Carey-Ann Pawsey

    Orca Sound

  • Given a few more passes on the script, take out the chapter brakes and maybe punch up the action, Badland could have been a modern-day cowboy flick worth the near two hour run time.

    Adam Mock

    Film Inquiry

  • Lee's film never escapes its B-movie roots, nor does it try to, embracing its own pompousness.
